SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING VALUE-BASED INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A method for generating value-based information, comprising:
- under control of a computer;
generating statistical data for particular features of a plurality of products based on prices of the products;
generating a base score for each of the features based on the statistical data;
for each of at least some of the products, computing a product feature score for the product based on the base scores of the features that the product has; and
outputting, for the at least some of the products, a representation of a value of each of the at least some of the products in relation to each other, the representation of the value being based on the product feature score and the price for each of the products.

Abstract
Methods for generating value-based information are presented. Methods for displaying product information are also presented. In one approach, a feature to price distribution is approximated for each of a plurality of features of a plurality of products. Additionally, a product feature score is computed for each of at least a subset of the products. Furthermore, data corresponding to a visual representation of the at least a subset of the products in relation to each other is output based on the product feature scores and prices of each of the at least a subset of the products. In another approach, a value is assigned to each of a plurality of features of a plurality of products. Additionally, a product feature score is computed for each of at least a subset of the products. Furthermore, data corresponding to a visual representation of the at least a subset of the products in relation to each other is output based on the product feature scores and prices of each of the at least a subset of the products.

26. A method for outputting a comparison of products based on a value of the products, comprising:
-
under control of a computer; determining a value of each of a plurality of products relative to the other products, the values being based on features and prices of the products; outputting data corresponding to a visual representation of the products in relation to each other on a plot of features vs. product price based on the value of the products in relation to each other; receiving user input specifying a subset of the products, and outputting data corresponding to a visual representation of the subset of products; and for at least one of the products, outputting data corresponding to an additional visual representation listing a select number of the features of the product, and outputting data corresponding to a link to additional information about the product, wherein a subset of the visual representations are highlighted based on defined criteria.
